What is the full form of the common computer application CAD ?
Computer-Aided Design
CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design.
The expansion describes what the software actually does: the computer aids the designer in creating, modifying, analysing and optimising a design, rather than merely drawing it. A CAD package such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks holds a parametric model, so changing one dimension updates every dependent view, and the same model can then be checked for interference, mass or stress.
This is why the other expansions are wrong. Computer-Assisted Drafting describes only the drawing part and belongs to the older CADD sense, while Computer-Advanced Design and Computerised Architectural Drawing are not standard expansions at all and would wrongly limit the term to one discipline.
Hence, the answer is Computer-Aided Design.
